It looks like I might be able to acquire a 35' RTS in an auction pretty soon. There's problems with the engine and it might necessitate an engine change. It has a 6V71 right now. I want to repower it to a 6V92TA. I was wondering if anyone could share similar experiences. I'm afraid other "things" will have to be upgraded at the same time but am unsure to what extent that might be.

The 6V71 will have the 1.04 underdrive transmission. It is not worth buying if you plan on repowering-- RTS's with 6V92TA's come up for auction all the time-- you just have to look and be ready to travel.

That's a new one for me, but I take your word for it. All 730's I worked with had on overdrive final. I do have 4 1989 35' remans. with 6V92' for sale, if anyone is looking.
